Thrifted clothes have their beauty, and they can sometimes look as amazing as high-end designer fashion pieces. Fashion influencer and stylist Eve-Lily loves both in equal measure, and she’s capturing the difference between the two in her viral videos.
Eve-Lily is a fashion blogger from London, who describes herself as a “maximalist crazy cat lady”. The 25-year-old influencer built quite a following on social media after she decided to give us a sneak peek inside her closet, and she’s now followed by 300,000 people on Instagram and 500,000 more on TikTok.
Eve-Lily’s content is pretty versatile, and she first rose to prominence when she shared a clip wearing outfits from the fashion houses of Gucci and Prada in early 2021. We’ve seen her share many styling guides, fashion tips and tricks, and “keep and donate” videos over time, but she’s currently rocking our world with her viral “high-end vs thrifted” clips.
The point of these clips is to prove that wearing high-end clothes doesn’t always mean having a better style. Eve-Lily is a firm believer that it’s important to find a balance between thrifted and designer clothes.
“Can money buy style? – to me the answer is a hard no.. but as someone who started their social media journey with a 90% thrifted 0% designer wardrobe, I do feel that beginning to collect unique high-end pieces has definitely helped to elevate my maximalist style,” she explains on Instagram.
